NatGeo has been running a weekend marathon of the entire original Sagan series as a prelude to tonight's series revival premier with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I haven't been able to see every single episode, but the half dozen or so I've watched have reminded me what a profound visionary and wonderful story teller Carl Sagan was.

I caught the new version last night. It was okay but the animation they used to discuss the historical aspects seemed like it could have been much better. It reminded me of an old Saturday morning cartoon. Odd since Seth MacFarlane was the Executive Producer.

That fish/croc in the beginning looked real enough as it was crawling out the water near Neil's feet! I did not care for the cartoons either. Rather amateurish.

I just watched. Very uneven, and as much as I admire and respect Tyson, the whole resonation fell short of my expectations. I didn't get the cartoon segments, either. They were so off-tone as to feel disruptive. Disappointing.
